Search for dog swept away in a river

[Catherine]

For one Vancouver Island family a happy walk ended sadly. Their 10 year old golden lab, Deak, went into the river for a swim. He was caught in a current, swept down stream  and washed over a waterfall. They quickly contacted the police and FLED, Find Lost and Escaped Dogs. Their volunteers turned out and searched. So far no sign of Deak.

I feel for the family. All they wanted was a fun walk with their dogs. It turned sad so quickly. I don't know if there is any hope for Deak, but if he is out there someone will find him and bring him home to his family. The not knowing must be unbearable. The picture of their other two dogs looking bereft says it all.
